I CAN EAT AND DRINK NORMALLY AGAIN!

Oscopy outcome: nothing found, come back in 2 years and do it all again.

I watched the feed from the camera, which was more than a little bit odd but then I'd been given a cocktail of sedatives so I didn't really care.

Well, the Big C rollercoaster threw me a nasty yesterday.

It turns out I have something called Lynch Syndrome, which is a genetic abnormality on one or more of a small number of genes. I have one, just one, but that one means some of my cells can't repair damaged DNA. This puts me at increased risk of not just prostate cancer (we knew about that already!) but also colorectal, intestinal, stomach, pancreas and others.

When will it end?
